Long time between recaps, but we spent a fair chunk of it traveling. The school trip to Xi'an was great, and the remainder of the school year went smoothly, with the usual hectic rush of work. Then it was off on our summer trip to Taipei and Palau. Lots of photos on the Instagram link below. Some reviews and blog entries to follow.
Tomorrow it's the annual Father/Son (Rail) Road Trip! Taking the train to Hong Kong and spending three days there!
In the meantime, I've done some reviews.

Upcoming
Trip to Hong Kong with the Kiddo tomorrow! Hong Kong Disneyland on Monday!
After that we've got about a week before I head back to school (two weeks until classes start). We may do a few last tourist things in Shanghai, and we're considering a day trip to Nanjing before it's back to the day job.
I seem to have gotten myself into a regular D&D campaign. Tonight will be my third weekly session. Enjoying it so far.
Looking forward to watching Summer Slam and NXT Takeover Toronto in a week or so, and then NXT Takeover Cardiff at the end of August.
No plans yet for any of the breaks during the school year, but we are working on some ideas.
